PROGRAM SYNOPSIS
The Attitude Is Essential (AIE) seminars are designed to familiarize students who are already admitted to law school with the demands associated with the first year of law school and to acquaint them with resources available to help them meet those demands. The workshop sessions and accompanying handout materials cover such topics as legal analysis and writing, legal education financing, debt management, class preparation, the Socratic method, case briefing and so forth.

The workshops are intended to ease the transition from undergraduate to professional school and motivate students to succeed.
